Re: Pair of guineas or a rabbit?
If I had pigs I would try and go for a 5ft space for them single spaces are better as ramps take up space. Bedding, hay fleece/blankets/towel (easy to wash) I know people line a hutch/cage with newspaper and cover it with hay lots of hidey things too.
(Just saw your post, I think that would be okay if they had time out too )
Rabbits are not cuddly lol, it's uncommon to find one that enjoys being picked up. They have their own personalities but so do pigs. With rabbits they prefer keeping all 4 paws on the ground. It's not time rabbits need, it's space and a servant!
I know that from me looking after my aunts piggies that they can be very friendly and hers were very cuddly ^^ it took a few months for them to trust (from a rescue) her and after that they were best friends with everyone they had newspaper and hay bedding all through then little fleece beds and things that were so cute lol.

Re: Pair of guineas or a rabbit?
Aww sounds adorable I'm still looking at cages, maybe I'll luck out and find a huge, suitable one. If not, at least I'll have that one to fall back on

Re: Pair of guineas or a rabbit?
that cage is better
sadly no americas cage selection is pretty poor, however you are lucky that its fairly easy to get NIC grids and coroplast there
i would recomend you look into building your own C&C cage

Re: Pair of guineas or a rabbit?
I don't know.. I've never been that good at DIY. I was the only kid to fail arts and crafts in first grade -_-

Yeah, it's a nice cage looks easy to clean and access too.
Some are very small so just be sure to check the measurements
You can buy puppy pens, and the base for them which is plastic so could just have hay on top rather than newspaper too.
I don't know if you could find something like that

Re: Pair of guineas or a rabbit?
Just wanted to say good luck I have both rabbits and guineas, and for you would recommend guineas for all the reasons others have mentioned I had five guineas at one point, now sadly I only have one, the only girl left from three siblings. She's 7 now and doing well, they are interactive (although not the brightest!) and as soon as she hears my voice she's squeaking away! They are very sweet. In my cage I put newspaper down then on one half fleece (easier to keep clean than it sounds, I only have two and whilst ones in the wash she has the other), then on the other half there's megazorb with hay on top and her food, she tends to poo/wee where she eats

I was going to suggest a C&C cage too You don't even have to be good at DIY, they sell kits which are basically fold along the pre-scored lines on the coroplast, clip the squares together, instant cage
